DANCE DIQAMA N INDIAN scene was the setting for the annual Dance- Drama presented iMay 22 at Mosswood park by the girls of University high school. The theme of the story is as follows: Stardust, daughter of Sit- ting Bull, and Fleetdeer, the son of Chief Black Coyote, meet and fall in love with each other while their fathers are at a peace confer- ence. It is against the tribal customs for an Indian to marry out of his own tribe, so the two lovers keep their adoration a secret. After the peace plans are made, Chief Black Coyote returns to his own tribe with his son. In the winter the two tribes are situated far away from each other, but in summer they are close together. The next summer Fleetdeer and Stardust are brought together again. However, scouts discover them together one evening and force them to leave. The boy and girl, realizing that they are to be sep- arated, meet for the last time and leap together into the river. The Indian god of love takes pity on the two sad lovers. Every summer two doves meet in the evening in the little glade. They are the spirits ofthe Indian boy and girl. They remain together until the first sign of fall, and then they bid each other farewell. The cast, selected by tryouts, was: Stardust, Yvonne Hostetterg Fleetdeer, Ruth Aiken, Sitting Bull, Evelyn Schlictingg Black Coyote, Ethel Patterson, Indian Scout, ltlaybelle Clhapmang Frozen Fingers, Florence Bianchi, Sun, Jane Rea, ltioon, Ira Tharsingg Nightingale, Elva Dimpfelg and two birds are lNIargaret Peterson and Shirley T odd. DIQAMATIC NIGHT As the Cub goes to press before the actual performance of Dra- matic Night, it is possible to include only a pre-write-up of the event. The dramatics classes spent quite a while considering the plays to be put on for this semi-annual performance. They chose some unusual ones, each varying greatly from the others. Cn the program there are four plays, listed in the order in which they appear: The Thrice Promised Bridef a very interesting Chin- ese playg '6The Patchwork Quilt, a serious play filled with dramag NSweeps of 798g and Romancers.

it, there was inspi1'ed a bit of feeling for that other realm somewhere out beyond that of daily life. Sherwood was an adaptation from Alfred Noyes' Sher- wood. It was given in place of the yearly Shakespearean contest, which occupied the dramatic energies of our high schools' students every spring. The members of the cast should certainly be commended upon their most praiseworthy acting. Frances Branch, from University High School, made an excellent regal Queen Eleanor. lllarion lllanor, also from University High, gave a lovely interpretation of lllarion Fitzwalter. Other characters from University were: Leon- ard Dart, Mush, the lWiller's song Jack Frost, Robin Hood, William llieyer, Little John, Helen Clement, VVidow Scarlet, Leonard Car- ter, Sheriff 3 Florence Barcelon, Noviceg and a group of outcasts. One could not hope to praise each individual who helped in the performance, but the least one can do is to give all the praise due to lNIiss Doris McEntyre, who, out of the many different individuals, polished and finished the beautiful performance that was so greatly en oyed by the audiences. DDEIQETTA Riding Down the Skyf' this year's annual operetta, was pre- sented before a full house, Friday evening, April 19. As the name suggests, the plot was a Uflyingn one. Besides a pilot and an airplane, however, there was a lllexican revolution, the discovery of an oil gusher, and a romance with a Spanish senorita. The presence of a wealthy aged suitor, seeking the hand of Carmelita, the daughter of the president, who needs money to pre- vent a revolution, also complicates matters. The cast was: Everett Schwarzmann, Ben Baker, the pilot, Elizabeth Smith, Carmelita, daughter of presidentg Barbara Pomroy Pepita, her friend, Earl Sweetwyne, Joshua Scroogins, mechanicg Theron Hall, Don Pedro, president, Frances Branch, Rosa, duennag John Conrad, Don Jose, suitor of Carmelitag Bert liflorton, hir. lNfIacDonald, financier, Bill Vollmer, Francisco Bandino, revolu- tionistg lifargaret Barton, lllarie, his wife, Charles Ebinger Fernando Gonzales, president's bodyguard, and Howard Horner Sergeant Timothy Riley of the U. S. llfarines. Leonard Tonson and 'Elva Dimpfef danced several Spanish dances. The senior glee clubs were the chorus.
